How to take an online class?
Currently using a platform called Zoom. you’ll need a computer, tablet or phone, and a good internet connection. There are pics words & links here to begin
-
First time on Zoom? download the zoom app. it's free, and you can use it on any device
-
You make choices to be seen and share or be private,
-
Please stay muted unless asked to share.. the sound is important to all, and each mic changes it.
-
Computer will give you the greatest flexibility to see and interact.
-
Phone will give you freedom to move or be anywhere.
-
More zoom details below*
Arrive early and get oriented
-
Use external speakers or headphones to really enjoy the music.
-
Make space to move in! Share with friends and have family join if you desire.
-
Have what you need nearby.. water, a journal, or creative play tools.. this is a physical experience. Include your environment
getting Zoom to work for you
-
You can choose speaker view or Grid/Gallery view – you can toggle between the two to see the difference. Upper right corner on a computer screen.
-
You can also choose to dance with video off, you’ll miss that joy of being in connection.. turn it on or off anytime.
-
Stay MUTED.. turn off a small icon that looks like a microphone, this helps the sound quality for everyone! And you can be expressed as loudly as you choose, (respecting your neighbors!)
-
The Host can mute and unmute everyone. But make it easy so we can dance too!
-
CHAT feature – allows you to communicate with Host, and the rest of the group.. you can send a private message to a friend as well..
-
Name yourself, so we can see who you are even if you turn video off. .it's under the 3 dots on computer view.
Missing moments?
-
This will have recorded audio, your dance and all our dances are private and will not be shared.. please respect the privacy of all by not recording this visually..
-
Music and voice will be uploaded to Mixcloud afterwards so you can revisit, or dance when you need.
Many thank you's to all who made this possible: I got support from Sarah Davies & Open Floor Movement teachers, JP LaBrosse, and my housemate Kathryn Korniloff... this is a new world, and improving technology, We're all doing this from our hearts!
